Water Based - The best all-purpose lubricants are water-based and especially formulated to be non-irritating. Once again, buying a lubricant is going to come down to personal preference - some provide light lubrication and some heavy lubrication. Water-Based lubes use two main ingredients: Water and Glycerin. Since the main ingredient is water, water-based lubes do tend to dry up quickly. Make sure to keep a water spray bottle handy to reactivate the lube when it dries up. If lubricants are going to end up in your mouth then a flavored lubricant is what you might consider buying. Some flavored lubricants are for external use only and should not be used inside the vaginal tract. If you intend to use flavored lubricants during intercourse, read the ingredients to see if it contains sugar. Sugar can cause infections inside the vaginal tract. Water-based Lubes clean up with soap and water.
Silicone Based - The newest lubrication products on the market are silicone based. While they make a great body lubricant they also appear to cause damage to some silicone adult toys so your best choice if you are using any silicone products is to
stick with water-based lubricants. Like Water-Based lubes, Silicone-lubes can be safely used with all condoms. Silicone-Based lubes are excellent to use because they do not dry up like Water-Based lubes do. Silicone-based lubes are a bit harder to clean up, but a little extra soap and water does the trick.
Anal Lubricants - As previously stated "Never Every Try Any Anal Penetration Without Using A Lubricant". If you are practicing safe sex oil based lubes are out of the question and you should consider using heavy water based lubricants.
For Your Toys - Both Oil based and Silicone based lubricants can damage adult toys. Either use a water-based lube or protect your toys with a condom.
